Christmas photo shoot with my boys and our Christmas card

I really wanted our Christmas cards this year to be something special, showcasing both my photography and my incredibly, undeniably adorable kiddos. So, I decided I would take my OWN children out for a little photoshoot. Let's just say I am now well aware of why parents HIRE a photographer to do their family pictures, LOL. Owen was all over the place and Jack was just over it. period. I did manage to get some good ones that I ended up using, but my boys definitely brought the lols and then some in order for me to get them. I admit, I did a little photo editing on the Christmas card pictures, but for some reason, i just couldn't bring myself to photoshop the dirt, scratches and mystery "wet stuff" (drool? water from the fountain?) off of O's little face in the rest of the pictures ;)

Jack may need a few pointers on being "subtle" lol

No words for this face - it's precious to me!
This one too :)

And ..... finally some card-worthy shots

Christmas Catch-Up

The holidays may be over, but I am still playing catch up with my pre-holiday posts! These are from a family session I did all around downtown Winter Park. We started out the clients' lovely home and then moved on over to Park Avenue, the Farmer's Market and Rollins College. I had a great time, the kids and parents were so easy going and fun to work with, I think we got some great shots!

Do I get to shoot the most beautiful families, or what? This is the second shoot I've done with these two cute kiddos and I love seeing how much they've grown up! Big sister is so sweet and attentive and little brother is just the sweetest thing ever. AND, they've got another beautiful baby (sister?brother?) on the way early next year. I don't know how one family can handle so much cuteness! :)
